Christmas

We had our DeYoung Christmas this weekend in Fort Wayne.  Ben, Amanda, Isaac and Joshua came down on Thursday and stayed at our house.  Overall, the cousins played well together and seemed to enjoy each others company.  Friday we ventured out for doughnuts in the morning and then went to a park in the afternoon.


Saturday morning meant presents!  I think everyone made out pretty good.  I'm most thankful everyone was willing to drive to us this year since the doctor said no travel for me after Thanksgiving.


Isaac was super excited about his new circuit board game.


It really did not feel like winter this weekend.  Almost 70 degrees on Saturday, so we loaded up the wagon and stroller and went for a walk through the neighborhood.


We also continued our tradition of decorating sugar cookies.  I was very impressed with how well Isaac and Evelyn cut out and decorated the cookies.  They didn't get bored and didn't make a huge mess.


Sunday after breakfast we went to a different park to enjoy the unseasonable warm weather.  Evelyn showed off her hanging skills.


And Evelyn and Joshua practiced their stair climbing.


After the park, we walked over to the historical Old Fort.  The kids enjoyed a snack before heading back home.

City champs

 Cross country season is officially over. Last night was city finals and Blackhawk girls finished first. We took 1st, 3rd, 5th, 8th and 10th place. Evelyn ran 14:56, so about 10 seconds off her PR.  She was 32nd overall out of 64 girls.  Her place counted for her team which she was happy about. The boys did good too and finished in second place overall.

Last weekend

 Last weekend was a busy one. I had the Fort4Fitness, Evelyn had a cross country invitational in Huntington and Jameson had two soccer games in Middlebury. All on Saturday! Friday I spent all afternoon at the F4F expo. The weather was lovely so that was nice. When it was busy, the time passed quickly. When it was slow, there were still enough people that I wasn’t totally bored.  Evelyn had a great run and PR’ed with at time of 14:40.  It was an early morning for them as she had to be at the meet by 8:40. But that was better for us since Jameson’s games were into the afternoon.  I had a decent half marathon. I ran 2:10:30 which is slower than I’d like but I’ve also been dealing with a nagging right knee problem. So I honestly was thankful I could run and run the race without much discomfort.  I was fast enough to get home, shower and eat lunch before we left for soccer. Jameson’s team won the first game 0-1 and tied the second 1-1. He scored both the goals. ...

Futsal

 It’s futsal season. Jameson had his first game tonight. It’s all just intra club fun meant to help the players develop and practice over the winter. Parents only have to help during games with subbing but we also got Evelyn to help run the scoreboard.
